Dark Water

I received a copy of Dark Water by Robert Bryndza through NetGalley for an honest review. My thanks to Bookouture and to Robert Bryndza for the opportunity to review this awesome addition to the series . I have read every single book with DCI Erika Foster and have loved every single one. If you haven't started this series I encourage you to start from the beginning and work your way over to this gem.

This story starts off where I didn't expect it. I wanted to see Erika doing what she does best solving hard cases and taking names! What can I say I am all for a strong female lead and Erica is one of the best I have come across. Although she started with the Projects Team, where she put drug dealers away she quickly finds herself back with her old team when the remains of a little girl are found along with the drugs. I loved seeing Erika in her element. The way that Robert weaves this story with short punchy chapters makes this a hard book to put down, add to the equation that the remains of the body that they found was of the young girl Jessica Collins who died in 1990 making this not only a twenty-six-year-old case but absolutely a book you won't want to put down.

While I have read every single book in the series to date I have to say I liked this one a little more than the previous two. You get a much better understanding of Erika as a person not just as Erika the copy. You get to see her form relationships/friendships with others and that is important to me as a reader. I love the strong take charge side to her personality but Robert Bryndza does a fabulous job in further developing Erika that make her extremely relatable and likable. Hands down a 5 Star EDGE of YOUR seat read a Must have for everyone who loves crime novels.
